Thanks for the tips

Do they have a Brumation period in the wild?

I tried breeding these...it didn't work out :/

I'm currently trying to breed alvarius. I think they are just very sensitive to light, humidity, temp, etc. Personally, I think a lot of bufo toads need an extreme hibernation period. I know Colorado River Toads are underground for most of the year, and I'd assume the same is for Western Green Toads. It takes some experimentation, but unfortunately this involves quite a bit of risk to the toads. What people need to do is to experiment with some common toads, like American Toads.

I agree with this point. What method and time would you use to hibernate Weston greens? I'm trying to get as many opinions and info as I can before going ahead with it.
